RAILROAD MURDER.
RAILROAD MURDER.
Another Railroad Horror, This Time
on the Chicago & Atlantic, In
Which Twenty Lives Are Lost.

A terrible accident occurred on the Chi
raso & Atlantic railroad the 10th inst, at
Koutz. Ind, a small station about fifty
miles east OF Chicago. The train wrecked
was No. IL, which lett Chicago at 7:45. The
train was made up OF five cars, the two
rear ones being Pullman sleepers. just
before the train arrived ct
Koutz, the eccentric OF the engine
broke, and the engineer slowed up for re-
pairs. The brakeman hung out a danger
signal light. The train had stopped but a
short time when the train behind, which
proved to be the last Chicago meat" train,
made up of freight cars, dashed into 1t. Not
withdrawing the danger signal, the meat"
train rushed on at the rate oil thirty-hye
miles an hour. She struck the rear coach,
telescoped it and the two in front and lett
nothing but the front baggage outstanding.
The three coaches we're swept completely
away. The night was dark and the scene
during the next half-hour was dreadtu
Amid the pandemonIum of crashing tim
bers and human shrieks n topping frag-
meuts Of the wreck the horror
was trebled when the confused mass
OF splinters and broken wood was dis
covered Il be on fire. The live
coal from the freight engine ignited the de-
bris under which the wounded and dead
were lying. Those who miraculously es-
capped uninjured Immediately turned their
attention to those imprisoned in the
wreck. No means existed for checking the
fire, and only after it had burned itself out
was it possible to do anything for the lew
still alive imprisoned in the debris.
The victims so far as known are: DIR.
William Perry of North S1dson, Ind.
Mrs. William Perry, Grace Perry. aged 10.
Charles Miller, aged 20. Mrs. Lena Miller,
aged AS. Minnie Miller, aged z. Fred Nil.
Ter. aged 20. William Miller. aged II.
Two unknown persons complete the list
of the dead as certainly established. 1t is
impossible to obtain a list OF the rounded
on the train, as only two are left behind.
They are: Herman Miller, aged fourteen.

Venus, The Morning Star.

An important event occurred a few
weeks ago in the movements OF our
nearest celestial neighbor among the
planets. The fairest of the evening
stars shines no longer in the western
sky, where her beaming presence has
been so welcome during the spring
and summer.
On the 21st of September, Venus
reached inferior conjunction, passing
at that time between the earth and
sun, as the moon does at new moon,
and changed her position from the
eastern side of the sun to the western.
She has become morning star.
For a short time after she began her
new role, she was invisible, for she
was so neal the sun as to be hidden
in his rays. She may now, however,
be seer shortly before sunrise; for she
moves rapidly in this part of her
course. Careful observers will easily
find her early in the present month, a
lovely object under 'the opening eye
lids of the morn" She viii rise ear
lier each morning and grow brighter
until the 2Sth OF October, when she
reaches her period of greatest bril-
liancy as morning star, being visible
even in the presence ofthe great lumi-
nary from whom she borrows leave to
shine.
During this time. she is moving
westward from the sun, and will con-
tinue to move in this direction until
the I'd OF December, when she reaches
the greatest western elongation. Her
movanneDt ia them ravarsad She an
proaches the sun, sets earlier every
evening, and her brillianey decreases
until she arrives at superior coniunc-
ton on the 18th OF July, 1888. Her
course as morning star is then conf
pleted, and she becomes evening star.

How the Sioux Indian pies.

In 1881 / was hunting some lost
horses in the broken country west OF
the Big Horn River. had ridden al,
morning Owe a country that was
strange to me. About IL O'Clock /
crossed a plateau and was surprised
to come suddenly to the edge of a
canon. the existence of which / had
not even suspected. In the canon was
a stream with clumps of cottonwood
timber along its banks, and in one OF
the open spaces was an Indian lodge.
The Indians that hunted in that
country We're peaceable. but the war
was just over and the Sioux were
feeling rather sore. II they were
Crows or Arapahoes l might get some
information about my horses. l lay
down and watched. No smoke came
from the tepee; no one moved around
IL; half a dozen ponies grazed a few
hundred yards distant. There was
not even a dog, which looked rather
suspicious.
After waiting FIVE minutes l knew no
more than at first. Suddenly three
Whitehall deer came from the timber
and walked leisuvely across the open
ing. Then knew that the camp was
deserted, and the strangeness of it
started me. l mounted and rode
down the creek, and straight to the
tepee. Lsthrew back the flap, and
shall remember what saw until death,
In the centre OF the tepee was spread
a buffalo robe, and on the robe were
guns scalps and arrows: and there
was also food done up as for a Jour.
ney; and sitting cross legged in a circle
around the robe was six braves of tie
Sioux Nation. All were in their
prime-all decked out in war.paint,
and each one held a bow and arrow
in his hand. On every face was an
expression OF calm indifference, as o,
n who neither suffers nor enjoys,
neither hopes nor fears. The faces were
those OF dead men, and the small. pox
had marked them with its awful mark.
They took their misery with their
heads up, anb even the horrors ofthis
disease could leave upon their hearts
no stain OF fear. upon their brows nc
mark OF suffering. And this that then
